Finding Linux Apps

Once you install LinuxI’ll use the popular Ubuntu distribution as the example hereyou’ll soon discover that a significant number of programs are installed along with it. You can quickly scan which ones you have ready to go by clicking the Applications menu and examining the submenus. But these are a fraction of what’s available to you. Many are considered part of your distribution but are not yet installed; even more are out on the Internet waiting for you to download and install them.
